Yes, the rear ones are permanently attached to the brackets. The new brake lines should have come with brackets for the rear that you need to use along with one clip for each side to secure the line to the new bracket. On my car the one clip on each side was not enough to secure the line to the bracket. I had to reuse the clips that were on the front to put on the rear so that the lines were secured tightly. Anotherwords, on each rear side you use the clip that came with the new lines and one clip from the front.
